Transform your flat, fried potato pancakes into party-perfect finger food. These vegan latkes are easily baked in batches using muffin tins, coming out shaped as little crispy cups – perfect for a dollop of the traditional (vegan) sour cream and applesauce toppings. For those with sophisticated palates, whip up horseradish sour cream or superfood applesauce, just two fun variations on the classic latke toppings. Superfood additions to your applesauce could include chia seeds, goji powder, maca powder or pomegranate powder.
